What is Mathematical Analysis?

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}
\displaystyle e^x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!}
\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x) dx=\lim_{n\to \infty} \sum_{n=0}^{n} f(x_i)\Delta x_i
\displaystyle f'(a) = \lim_{x\to a} \frac{f(x)- f(a)}{x-a}

What is Mathematical Analysis?

Essentially, it is the study of limts (and related theories) using the axiomatic properties of real numbers.

\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}
\displaystyle e^x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!}
\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x) dx=\lim_{n\to \infty} \sum_{n=0}^{n} f(x_i)\Delta x_i
\displaystyle f'(a) = \lim_{x\to a} \frac{f(x)- f(a)}{x-a}

Mathematical Analysis

We are going to prove statements like:

0\cdot x = 0
\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \int_0^1 \frac{nx+ \sin(nx^2)}{n} \,dx = 0

🚀

Why should I read the complementary material? 🤔

  1. Reading is, in general, a very useful cognitive exercise.
  2. In mathematical analysis, it can help you gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and theorems being presented, and develop your ability to think logically and rigorously.
  3. You are studing maths!

In which you may encounter some beautiful expressions such as:

\displaystyle\lim_{\substack{h \to 0\\h\in \R^n}} \frac{||f(x+h)-f(x) - Df(x)h||}{||h||} = 0
\displaystyle {\biggl( \sum_{k=1}^n x_k y_k \biggr)}^2 \leq \biggl(\sum_{k=1}^n x_k^2 \biggr) \biggl(\sum_{k=1}^n y_k^2 \biggr)
\displaystyle (f^{-1})'(y_0) = \frac{1}{f'\bigl( f^{-1}(y_0) \bigr)} = \frac{1}{f'(x_0)}
\displaystyle f'(p) \, e_j = \sum_{k=1}^m \frac{\partial f_k}{\partial x_j}(p) \,e_k
\displaystyle \limsup_{n \to \infty} \, x_n = \inf \{ a_n : n \in \N \}
\displaystyle \liminf_{n \to \infty} \, x_n \leq \limsup_{n \to \infty} \, x_n
\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \int_0^1 \frac{nx+ \sin(nx^2)}{n} \,dx = 0

But before, we need to practice a lot 📝 ✍️

\displaystyle\lim_{\substack{h \to 0\\h\in \R^n}} \frac{||f(x+h)-f(x) - Df(x)h||}{||h||} = 0
\displaystyle {\biggl( \sum_{k=1}^n x_k y_k \biggr)}^2 \leq \biggl(\sum_{k=1}^n x_k^2 \biggr) \biggl(\sum_{k=1}^n y_k^2 \biggr)
\displaystyle (f^{-1})'(y_0) = \frac{1}{f'\bigl( f^{-1}(y_0) \bigr)} = \frac{1}{f'(x_0)}
\displaystyle f'(p) \, e_j = \sum_{k=1}^m \frac{\partial f_k}{\partial x_j}(p) \,e_k
\displaystyle \limsup_{n \to \infty} \, x_n = \inf \{ a_n : n \in \N \}
\displaystyle \liminf_{n \to \infty} \, x_n \leq \limsup_{n \to \infty} \, x_n
\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \int_0^1 \frac{nx+ \sin(nx^2)}{n} \,dx = 0
